A hatchback that does more with less
Drive a Corolla iM
A Toyota Corolla iM car rental gets you a compact five-door hatchback with 31 mpg combined and one well-equipped trim — no option-sheet guesswork. It's a practical pick if you're browsing Toyota car rental options for everyday driving.
On Turo, you book your Corolla iM from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup or delivery that fits your plans. Corolla iM rentals on Turo come from the 2016–2018 model years (2018 was the last), so check the listing year before you book.

Hatchback versatility for every errand
The Corolla iM gives you 20.8 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats, so groceries, luggage, and weekend bags fit without a fuss. Its five-door layout gives you easy access to the back seat and the hatch, and five seats leave room for friends or family.
Efficiency on regular gas
The Corolla iM stretches every fill-up, earning 28 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined with the CVT. It runs on regular gas, so you won't pay extra for premium at the pump.
A 14-gallon tank means fewer stops between destinations — handy on a long highway day. The 1.8L four-cylinder engine makes a modest 137 hp, a fair trade for that kind of efficiency. If you're planning a budget-minded trip, you'll spend less time at the gas station and more time where you actually want to be.
Standard driver-assist
The 2018 Corolla iM comes with Toyota Safety Sense C as standard equipment, giving you an extra set of eyes on busy roads. The suite bundles pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams.
Pre-collision braking is designed to help when traffic ahead slows suddenly, and lane departure warning alerts you if you drift from your lane. Automatic high beams switch between high and low beams on dark roads, so you can focus on driving. A rearview camera rounds out the package and makes tight parking spots and crowded parking garages easier to handle.
Stand out with a Corolla iM
Yes — the Corolla iM is a smart rental when you want efficiency, space, and a full feature list in one compact package. It shines on city commutes, weekend trips for two to five people, and budget-minded road trips. Compare it with other car rentals across the US to find the right fit for your plans.
Top Corolla iM features
European-born heritage
Three features set the Corolla iM apart: its European-born heritage, driver-focused feel, and well-equipped cabin.
The Corolla iM's story starts in Europe, where it began as the second-generation Auris. It arrived in the US as the 2016 Scion iM, then took the Corolla iM name for 2017 when the Scion brand ended.
The 2018 model year was its last, so every Corolla iM you'll find on Turo comes from a short three-year run. That brief history gives it a distinct identity — a European-born hatchback built around practicality and one simple trim. When you book one, you're driving a compact that's no longer sold new, with a backstory most rentals can't match.
Driver-focused feel
The Corolla iM lets you choose how involved you want to be behind the wheel. A six-speed manual comes standard, while the available CVT adds a Sport mode that quickens throttle response when you want a livelier feel.
Underneath, a double-wishbone independent rear suspension keeps the ride smooth on most roads and composed on winding ones. It's front-wheel drive, which keeps the setup simple for everyday trips around town. If you enjoy shifting your own gears, look for a manual listing — if you'd rather relax, the CVT has you covered.
Well-equipped cabin
The Corolla iM comes in one mono-spec trim, so popular features arrive bundled instead of spread across packages. You don't have to decode trim levels to know what you're getting. Navigation was available, so check the listing if you want it built in.
Inside, you get dual-zone automatic climate control, a seven-inch touchscreen, six speakers, Bluetooth, HD Radio, and USB. That means you and your front passenger can each set your own temperature while you stream your playlist over Bluetooth. Outside, 17-inch alloy wheels come standard and give this compact hatchback a sharper stance.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Corolla iM
Get to know your Corolla iM
A little prep goes a long way — check the model year and transmission, then plan around fuel and cost.
Start with the listing year: 2016 cars carry Scion badging, while 2017–2018 models wear the Corolla iM name. Also check whether the car has the six-speed manual or the CVT.
Want a different fit? A Toyota Camry rental gives you a bigger sedan, and a Toyota Prius rental brings hybrid efficiency. If you need more seats, a Toyota Highlander rental delivers SUV space.
Corolla iM driving tips
A few simple habits help you get the most from your Corolla iM:
Book early to lock in your preferred dates and model year. Confirm the transmission before you book, especially if you don't drive a manual. Try Sport mode on CVT cars for quicker throttle response. Fill up with regular gas and plan stops around the 14-gallon tank. Get familiar with the touchscreen and driver-assist features before you head out.
How much does it cost to rent a Corolla iM?
The cost to rent a Corolla iM depends on the model year, trip length, Extras, and delivery. Book four or more days ahead and you can take 10% off with a non-refundable trip.
Duration discounts kick in at three days, one week, and one month. Trips of 30 days or longer have no Turo trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and New York. That makes a long-term car rental an easy way to stretch your budget.

What documents do you need to rent a Corolla iM on Turo?
Here are quick answers to common questions about booking a Corolla iM on Turo.
You need a physical, valid permanent driver's license from the US or your home country, or a temporary license that's valid through your trip. If your temporary license has no photo, bring a matching government-issued photo ID.
At checkout, you'll provide your name, email, a phone number that can receive texts, and a payment method. You don't need a Turo account or personal insurance to book.
What kind of license works for a Corolla iM rental?
To book a Corolla iM, you need a valid, full driver's license. Turo doesn't accept expired, provisional, or restricted licenses, learner's permits, or photocopies. An International Driving Permit doesn't work as a replacement for a license, either.
How old do you need to be to rent a Corolla iM?
The minimum age to rent a Corolla iM depends on the vehicle class. You must be 18 or older for standard vehicles and 21 or older for vehicles valued over $20,000. Drivers 18–24 pay a young driver fee.
Do you need insurance to rent a Corolla iM?
No — you don't need your own insurance to book a Corolla iM on Turo. Before your trip starts, you choose whether to add or decline a protection plan.
Are there discounts on Corolla iM rentals?
Yes. Book your Corolla iM four or more days ahead and you can take 10% off with a non-refundable trip. Longer trips can also unlock three-day, weekly, and monthly duration discounts.
Can you rent a Corolla iM for a month or longer?
Yes, you can book a Corolla iM for monthly trips. Trips of 30 days or longer have no Turo trip fee, except in parts of Los Angeles and New York. Explore monthly rental options to plan an extended stay.
Do Corolla iM rentals include unlimited mileage?
Some do. Certain Corolla iM listings include unlimited mileage, and others offer it as an Extra. Check each listing's Distance included and Extras fields, since there's no search filter for unlimited mileage.
Can someone else drive the Corolla iM you rent?
Yes. You can add drivers in the Turo app, and each one needs their own Turo account and approval to drive. The primary driver picks up and returns the Corolla iM.
* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
